It would be a travesty if the judge keeps this sealed while Pelosi's assault video is being released, fueling domestic terrorists.

Really? Because the last I checked, they were busy shooting up power substations to bring down the energy grid.

You see riots are bad because stealing... But attempted sedition, attempted murder of politicians and their families, and terrorist attacks are good things

Lol I don't think you know what a trump supporter is supposed to look like because I know plenty of black,white ,and spanish ones so you would never in your life know what politicians they support if any at all. It's like assuming no trump supporters are pedophiles when the old men cat call 14 yo girls and talk about fucking Greta thumburg and praise trump and hate pedophiles even though they are pedos. If you don't think their are republicans taking advantage of the chaos you are too far gone.

What exactly are they looking for? This whole lawsuit is not about freedom of speech, it is about knowingly spreading misinformation for commercial gain, and about the damages these lies caused to others.

Unsealing the docs may show that Fox people knew they weren't being honest. That said, I think news orgs asking for release of sealed material is basically SOP (e.g. footage of Paul Pelosi attack).

Hate to break it to ya the entire MAGA movement knew it was total horseshit all along. They just wanted to overthrow our government and install a Christian Theocracy and "election fraud" was a convenient excuse

We have the evidence already from their shows spreading the information compared to texts we’ve seen from a few of them saying they knew it wasn’t legit

It's already known that at the same time Fox was promoting the conspiracy against Dominion, Dominion was communicating with Fox to get a rebuttal aired.

Fox ignored them.

They want to publish stories so they can get eyeballs to ads. That’s what news is and does. Gotta get the dirt so you can get the eyeballs.

This is an important point that a lot of people don't understand...newspapers are ads surrounded with some engaging content.

The advertising is what earns the money. If surrounding the ads with nothing but stories about cats and cat pictures got people to look at the newspapers then that's exactly what the publishers would do. But people want to read about the misfortunes of others and dirt on celebrities so that's what they print. They're not inherently interested in reporting on useful information. Just selling ad space.

Yup. Ads are the product - news is what gets you to consume them.

I had a buddy that worked in TV advertising who used to joke that tv shows were just the filler they put between commercials. The commercials are the actual point of the broadcast.

This is why Murdoch isn't going to merge the two news agencies.

Edit to correct spelling.

If Dominion settles. I'm a gonna scream and break shit.

They have been pretty vocal about not settling. They want their name cleared, not the money.

The proponents of "business" and " free market", slandered and libeled a huge corporation with deep pockets. Wtf did they think was going to happen?

Ansuz07 t1_j63pfrx wrote

They thought they’d get away with it because they usually do. Worst case they’d pay a fine and move on.

Dominion is one of the few companies that doesn’t care about the cost or financial damages from the case. They want their name cleared in a very public way.

I would speculate that their hope is that between a full exoneration in court (e.g. proof that FOX knowing lied about the anti-Dominion stories) combined with a significant enough amount of time passing (so people forget about it) their business can recover.

>Next I want to see people going to jail for interfering with democracy

One can dream...I mean there are laws on the books against sedition and treason, but nobody wants to enforce them. Just look at all the January 6 coup leaders and plotters still running free.

Frankly, I admire them for doing it and will continue to do if they stick to their guns. I just hope they are able to keep their employees paid while going through this, because it ain't cheap.

Fox has also tarnished Dominion's name. No election official is going to want to deal with the blowback of using a Dominion voting machine

News Organizations trying to help Fox News* by tainting the jury pool, because they would rather have Fox get away with it, than let a precedent be set.
